The aim of this pilot study was to determine the metric characteristics of tests for assessing coordination, speed and balance in preschool children. For the purpose of this study, a sample of 59 boys and girls was measured. The respondents were selected from three kindergartens in city of Zagreb and their age ranged from 48 ± 6 month. The variables were composed of six motor tests from which two test was for assessing coordination (walking on all fours around the stem and eight with bending), two for assessing speed (two-leg jumping hoops and 10 m running) and two for testing balance (standing on one leg and walking on the narrowed field). The collected data were analysed by statistical software Statistica 12. The reliability of test were determined by calculating inter item correlation (r II), and Cronbach alpha (α). The basic descriptive parameters were calculated: arithmetic mean (AS), standard deviation (SD), the asymmetry (SKEW) and degree of peakedness (KURT) of distribution for determine the sensitivity and the normality was tested by K-S test. The homogeneity was estimate by univariate analysis of variance (F test and the level of significance – p
